The Historian's Eye
While researching for his forthcoming book, The Anarchy, which tells the story of how a militarized multinational destroyed and replaced the mighty and supremely elegant empire of the Great Mughals, William Dalrymple visited all the places in the Indian subcontinent where this history took place -- the battlefields and ruins, the mosques, Sufi shrines and temples, the paradise gardens and pleasure grounds, the barrack blocks and townhouses, the crumbling Mughal havelis and the palaces and forts. This collection is a record of that journey. Shot on his Samsung Edge, the striking black-and-white images in this collection convey the immediacy and lack of pretension that a cellphone offers in recording the world around us. For, as Dalrymple himself says, 'Photography should always be about the eye, not the equipment.'

Baroda
Baroda, a leading center for the arts, spans plural domainsAs the writers approach Baroda from different vantage points, they render its story in unique ways: as first-person accounts, and as art critics, anthropologists and historians. Early artists, craftsmen and photographers engage with Sayajirao Gaekwad III; the royal patron in turn represents these practitioners at international exhibitions; itinerant builders and established European architects contribute to a fast-modernizing princely state; artists, art teachers and administrators set new directions for a Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA) in post-Independence Baroda/India; patrons, gallerists, scholars and artists shape contemporary Baroda...
Media and Utopia
Collective political projects have become ephemeral and are subject to radical forms of erasure through cooptation, division, redefinition or intimidation in present times. Media and Utopia responds to the resulting crisis of the social by investigating the links between mediation and political imagination. This volume addresses those utopian spaces historically constituted through media, and analyses the conditions that made them possible. Individual essays deal with non-Western histories of technopolitics through distinctive perspectives on how to conceive the relationship between social form, everyday life, and utopian possibility, and by examining a range of media formats and genres from print, sound, and film to new media. With contributions from major scholars in the field, this book will be of interest to researchers and scholars of media studies, culture studies, sociology, modern South Asian history, and politics.
Great Women Artists

This essential volume reveals a parallel yet equally engaging history of art for an age that champions a greater diversity of voices.
